Download All Stories Are Fiction: On Lacking Conviction AudioBook Free
Mike Daisey is a fierce storyteller, one minute hilarious, the next minute sweet, with a fine-tuned ear for digression. He circles in on his uneasy subject material, closer and closer, until he exposes the raw heart. The New York Times calls him "the master storyteller" and he has been in comparison to Garrison Keillor, Spalding Gray, and David Sedaris. In these seven monologues, recorded before live audiences at New York's Performance Space 122, Daisey tells true stories from his life that range from the terrible beauty of his rural Maine hometown, to shipping weapons to the center East, to the unintentionally hilarious dangers of defending free speech. In On Lacking Conviction, an invitation to audition for yet another terrible tv pilot causes Mike to grapple with conviction: What do we do for money, and just how do we decide enough will do? Woven throughout is the anatomy of a failed business venture, where a little conviction might have saved a lot of heartache in the end.
